There is one sailing for Visakhapatnam in a month. The voyage takes about 3-4 days (50-60 hours ideally) and the ship normally berths at Port Blair for about two to four days.

If you are looking to travel to Port Blair by a ship, here is a clarification – The SHIP is not a cruise liner. It has no entertainment facilities on board and takes 3-4 days to reach Port Blair.

Do note that we recommend the ship experience on only one condition – for the experience of a voyage by sea for three-four full days alone, especially if you are a small group friends/family seeking an unusual adventure. The booking process is also a tedious one, bookings can only be made from the Shipping Corporation offices in Calcutta, Chennai or Visakhapatnam. Online bookings not available.
